View prices and availability
Fast growing, large tree with a fairly loose, umbel-shaped crown. The long, projecting and overhanging first-year twigs give the tree an elegant appearance. The twigs are dark brown, turning grey later. The leaves vary in shape from ovate to elliptical or obovate. The leaf’s underside has yellow to orange-yellow hairs, sometimes only on the veins. The inconspicuous flowers are followed by purple to orange, round drupes. Prefers warm summers. Prefers well-drained soil. Can tolerate drought and air pollution.
Good news: the vast majority of our range is immediately available from container stock. A few varieties that are only available as field-grown trees will be delivered from November 2026 onwards. We will let you know in advance per order which trees will arrive when.
